Note du spécialiste

François Rübestück, maître in 1766.

François Rübestück was born in Westphalia and emigrated to Paris, establishing his workshop in the rue de la Roquette before transferring to the rue de Charenton. Rübestück is known to have worked in a variety of styles and produced a prolific amount of high quality furniture. He is most well-known for his lacquer chinoiserie-decorated furniture, but also produced a group of small, elegant floral marquetry commodes inspired by those made by Jean-François Oeben, who developed and perfected this technique.
